It was a relief to have Mr. Demerath at the helm. He listed my concerns, addressed my issues, pointed out to me the pros and cons of my case, and then went to battle for me.

A wrongful death is when someone dies as a result of carelessness, negligence, or even intentionally.
In Wrongful death cases, all you have to demonstrate is:
If all of the above apply to you then you have a wrongful death case.
There are also various contexts in which wrongful deaths can occur such as:
Demerath lawyers are a family and as such they extend the same care and compassion to their clients as they would their own family. Demerath lawyers understand that recovering from and rebuilding your life after a wrongful death can be difficult, stressful, frustrating, and confusing. That is why we are here to help. You do not have to be alone during this life-changing time. Let our compassionate competent lawyers help get you what you deserve.
In Nebraska, wrongful death claims are civil actions filed by survivors of an individual or individuals killed in an accident due to the negligence of another individual or company. Survivors are left without the love, support, and income of the deceased family member, and courts can award compensation accordingly.
The compensation provided by an award of damages for wrongful death lawsuits can help ease the financial burdens associated with the loss of a loved one. A wrongful death lawyer can make sure the compensation awarded is designed to cover some or all of the following for the family members of the deceased:
Wrongful death laws are also designed to help compensate for less quantifiable aspects of wrongful death, such as the sudden and unnecessary loss of someone’s spouse, parent, or child.
Several elements must come together in order to build a strong case against those responsible for wrongful death. First and foremost, your personal injury lawyer must establish the defendant was obligated in some way to keep your family member safe. That is known as the “duty of care”. In other words, drivers of all motor vehicles in Omaha are obligated to act responsibly behind the wheel.
Second, breaching the duty of care must be proven. Your wrongful death lawyer is charged with clearly showing the defendant failed to uphold their responsibilities in operating their motor vehicle. For example, perhaps the driver was driving far too fast for the present road conditions.
The final factor is establishing causation. That means establishing whether the negligent actions of the defendant were directly linked to the death of your family member. For example, maybe the driver of a truck fell asleep and crossed the center line plowing directly into the front of your husband’s vehicle – instantly killing him. Your wrongful death lawyer would be responsible for establishing each and every one of these points. Many lawyers can provide you with counsel regarding this, but a great lawyer will get you all of the money you deserve for your wrongful death claim.
We understand that no amount of money can bring back your loved one. But taking legal action against the person whose negligence led to your loved one’s fatal injuries can help hold that person accountable. Additionally, recovering damages can help you and your family recover from the financial stress caused by your loss.
When you have lost a loved one to fatal injuries caused by the negligence of another person or company, contact our wrongful death lawyers at Demerath, we can help you get the justice you deserve.
